As crisp autumn breezes cool down the fall air, restaurants, cafes, and catering services prepare for a seasonal menu change.

From soups to meats with sauces and those fall beverages that are social media worthy, food in the fall holds a special place in customers' hearts.

There’s nothing worse than visiting your favorite local coffee shop or speciality smoothie location, and having to pause your conversation because of the loud blender that is used in their kitchen.

As we know, Vitamix is the industry leader in commercial blenders, and their ingenuity went to work yet again and developed a brand new addition to their commercial The Quiet One line- now available with a Twist Lock sound enclosure!

A commercial blender is a workhorse, something a chef or bartender depends on daily but doesn't give much thought to until something goes wrong. From sauces to soups to frozen drinks, a top-quality blender can bring speed, efficiency, and reliability to a commercial foodservice operation. For beverages in particular, having an outstanding blender makes a huge difference in the quality of a bar's blended drinks -- that's where Vitamix comes in.

There are two likely scenarios this time of year. The first one is a school nutrition director sits down to review the 2018-19 budget and realizes there's a surplus. The second and more common option is to conclude, "We have to figure out how to save more next year."

Both scenarios lend themselves to replacing, refreshing, or reinventing your school cafeteria, and here are eight ways to do it.

When you think about blenders in commercial or institutional foodservice operations, you probably think about blended drinks like daiquiris or smoothies. You might imagine small batches of soups or salsas. Maybe you even conjure up images of grinding down spices.
